Are sit-ups considered strenuous exercise?

In life, we often hear about "vigorous exercise". Vigorous exercise means that the oxygen taken in by the human body during exercise cannot meet the oxygen demand of muscles and blood, which is what we usually call anaerobic exercise. It can be seen from this that most anaerobic exercises fall into the category of strenuous exercise. So are sit-ups considered strenuous exercise? Let’s find out together.

Aerobic exercise refers to physical exercise performed by the human body with adequate oxygen supply. Anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed and intense movement of muscles in a state of "oxygen deprivation". Simply put, when exercising, if the oxygen intake can keep up with the muscles' demand for oxygen, it is aerobic exercise; if it cannot keep up, it is anaerobic exercise. So some more intense exercises such as sprinting are anaerobic exercises, and gentler exercises such as yoga are aerobic exercises. Sit-ups can be understood as anaerobic exercises.

Benefits of sit-ups:

It will exercise the exerciser's abdominal muscles, allowing the exerciser to better control his or her body, because the abdominal muscles belong to the core muscle group, which plays an important role in stabilizing the body. In addition, strong abdominal muscles have a better supporting effect on the back, allowing the exerciser to increase physical strength when engaging in other aerobic exercises and recreational activities.

Sit-ups can also help you lose weight, but you need to do more than 150 sit-ups slowly each time to burn fat. Otherwise, you can only exercise your abdominal muscles, which is too hard and the effect is not ideal. Doing it for a long time will cause damage to your spine.

Sit-ups also stretch your back muscles, ligaments, and spine. It can also regulate the central nervous system by stretching the spine. Thereby improving the body's disease resistance.

Sit-ups can exercise the abdominal muscles, tighten the abdominal muscles, and better protect the internal organs in the abdominal cavity.

Through the above introduction, I believe friends have already known that sit-ups are also a kind of strenuous exercise. Sit-ups are measured in minutes, and you see how many you can do in one minute, so there are usually speed and strength requirements. The faster the exercise, the less oxygen can meet the needs of the muscles, so sit-ups are also strenuous exercise.
